Job Description
About the Role
--------------
This isn’t your typical back-office role. You’ll be setting up and streamlining our financial operations as our first internal accounting hire—ensuring every transaction is accurate, every report is insightful, and every process is built to last. You’ll be the go-to person for month-end close process, ensuring our systems all speak the same financial language, and our accounting data is clean.
What You'll Do
--------------
Daily Operations & Controls:
- Manage day-to-day tasks including accounts payable/receivable, general ledger entries, and bank reconciliations.
- Develop, document, and refine internal controls and processes as our company scales.
Revenue & Financial Reporting:
- Ensure that revenue, deferred revenue, and accounts receivable entries meet GAAP and ASC 606 standards.
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, budgets, and forecasts.
- Conduct meticulous reviews of system reports to guarantee data completeness and accuracy.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with Revenue Operations, finance, legal, and executive teams to resolve revenue accounting challenges.
- Assist external auditors during annual audits and support ad-hoc financial analyses as needed.
Process Improvement:
- Identify and implement opportunities for automation and efficiency improvements—because even finance can get an upgrade.
Qualifications
--------------
- You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA or equivalent certification is a strong plus.
- You have 7+ years of relevant experience, ideally within SaaS finance or a high-growth tech environment.
- You’re well-versed in ASC 606 and GAAP, with a proven ability to reconcile complex revenue streams.
- You excel in Microsoft Office and G Suite, with advanced Excel skills. Proficiency with SQL and experience with accounting ERP systems (like QBO and NetSuite) are a bonus.
- You’re detail-oriented, proactive, and thrive in fast-paced environments where precision matters.
- You communicate clearly and work effectively with cross-functional teams to drive strategic decision-making.
Compensation
The estimated base salary range for this role is $138,876 - $173,595. In addition to your base salary, Metronome offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market-benched equity, sales incentive pay (for eligible roles), comprehensive health benefits, and other benefits listed below.
The actual base salary will vary based on factors including market value, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process, and previous experience. The listed range above should serve as a guideline and may be modified at any time.
We believe that compensation reflects the expected impact you will have at the company, relative to the market value of your role. We also conduct an annual pay audit to ensure pay is fair, indexed to market value, and that pay takes into account continued performance at Metronome. If you would like to learn more about our philosophy or about why we are all billing nerds, send us a message. We’d love to talk!
